Business Continuity System & Risk Management in the Supply Chain

Fragile supply chains, operational disruptions, geopolitical tensions, cyberattacks, and shortages of critical materials and services: the landscape is increasingly unstable, and business continuity can no longer be taken for granted. A Business Continuity System in Procurement is the tool that distinguishes companies that react from those that anticipate. This on-demand Digital Talk guides you through the methodologies for identifying critical risks in your supply chain, developing operational contingency plans, and integrating digital capabilities into supplier risk management.

What You’ll Learn in the Digital Talk: Risk Management and Business Continuity

Why has the Business Continuity System become a strategic requirement for operations?

In this session, we’ll explore:

• Risk Assessment Matrix: how to evaluate the probability and impact of supply chain risks to act with clear priorities
• Pro-FMEA in Procurement: identifying potential supply chain failures before they occur, estimating the risk priority index, and defining countermeasures
• Kraljic Matrix: strategically segmenting the supplier portfolio to focus resources where risk is highest
• Risk Contingency Plan: How to establish clear operational procedures, roles, responsibilities, and maximum tolerable recovery times
• AI and Intelligence Platforms: Beyond Manual Monitoring — How to Leverage Artificial Intelligence to Receive Real-Time Alerts on the Status of Critical Suppliers

Why Building Business Continuity Is No Longer Optional

The risk of not having a Business Continuity Plan in Procurement leads to two equally dangerous scenarios: production shutdowns due to a shortage of critical materials or spiraling costs in response to crises.

In this on-demand Digital Talk, you’ll discover how the most well-structured companies are transforming risk management from a “reactive activity” into a proactive and integrated system capable of ensuring business continuity even in the most unpredictable scenarios.

• Reduce exposure to supplier risk: dual/multiple sourcing strategies and strategic portfolio segmentation
• Protect operational continuity: how to develop contingency plans before an emergency arises
• Integrate digital technologies into risk management: leverage AI to monitor risk signals across your supply base in real time
